N2  - "John Locke (1632-1704) was a leading seventeenth-century philosopher, widely considered to be the first of the British Empiricists and one of the most influential Enlightenment thinkers. His works and ideas have had a significant impact on the development of key areas in political philosophy and epistemology. This comprehensive and accessible guide to Locke's life and work includes more than 80 specially commissioned entries, written by a team of leading experts, covering every aspect of Locke's thought and often compelling readers to rethink much received knowledge about Locke and his times. The Companion presents details of Locke's life and its historical and philosophical context, a comprehensive overview of all the key themes and topics apparent in his work, and a thorough account of his reception and enduring influence. This is an essential reference tool and resource for anyone working in the fields of Locke studies, seventeenth-century philosophy and intellectual history, as well as Enlightenment studies."--Back cover
